Black Lives Don’t Matter
If it were Republicans who were pro-abortion rather than Democrats this would be a national scandal, and would deserve to be.
Let’s face it: black lives don’t matter.
At least, they don’t matter to Democrats. Let us count the ways.
The first, and most obvious, way is to count the number of blacks aborted by the nation’s abortion mills. If you woke up one morning and read in the New York Times that the Ku Klux Klan was the actual stealth-force behind Planned Parenthood’s abortion mills and their massive winnowing of black communities, you would say, “Uh, huh. Why am I not surprised?”
In ultra-liberal woke New York City, more black babies are killed by abortion than are born alive, and the black abortion rate is more than three times higher than the rate for whites. Nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while black women make up only 14 percent of the childbearing population, 36 percent of all abortions were obtained by black women.
What is going on here? If it were Republicans who were pro-abortion rather than Democrats this would be a national scandal, and would deserve to be.
But, of course, it’s Democrats who promote abortion, meaning it is simply not true that black lives matter to the Left. Case closed.
Almost. There is still at least one unanswered question: why haven’t Republican office holders been making this point every single day during this riotous spring of manufactured discontent? That is a question for another day—probably the day after they deservedly lose reelection.
If black lives matter, why is there so little publicity over the rampant killings on the streets of Chicago? Chicago has had a Democrat mayor since 1931 (ten years before Cheerios were invented)! In the last approximately twelve months there were 707 homicides in Chicago; three hundred of the victims were black.
On May 31 of this year, while all the wokies were out demonstrating and looting and pretending that black lives matter, eighteen people were killed. It’s a good bet most of them were black too.
If black lives matter, doesn’t educating blacks matter too? Not to Democrats, it doesn’t.
Baltimore is a Democrat city. It has had only Democrat mayors since 1947! Its public schools are an embarrassment—but only to people capable of feeling embarrassed.
According to the Baltimore Sun, compared to children in other cities and large urban areas, students in Baltimore (approximately 76 percent of whom are black) scored near the bottom in reading and math on a national assessment test given in 2017. “In fourth- and eighth-grade reading, only 13 percent of city students are considered proficient or advanced. In fourth-grade math, 14 percent were proficient and in eighth- grade math 11 percent met the mark, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federally mandated test from the U.S. Department of Education.” So—who cares?
In Detroit, which has had Democrat mayors only since 1967, public schools have the worst test scores and graduation rates in the nation. A couple of years ago, Detroit students (82 percent of whom are black) had the worst math test scores in the National Assessment of Educational Progress’s forty-year history. So?
It’s not that difficult to educate blacks: free them from the Democrat plantation schools and let them go to privatized schools, even those run by—horrors!—religious institutions.
That’s an ask too far. Why? Because black lives don’t matter. Or at least they don’t matter as much as the votes of teachers’ union members.
President Obama, best friend of race-hustling “Rev.” Al Sharpton, denied vouchers to low-income Washington DC students attending private schools—while his two daughters attended a swanky private school where the tuition was more than $40,000. How much did black lives, or black education, matter to him?
Donald Trump reversed the Obama policy.
If black lives don’t matter to Democrats, what does matter to them? Power. That’s what all the rioting has been about. The woke lefties have finally, they think, found a stick to beat Trump with. America is a racist country. Let us defund the police.
The November election may hinge on how blacks vote. They can vote either for the man who presided over, and was singularly responsible for, the surging economy that resulted in the lowest black unemployment rate ever. Or they can vote for a man who has done little or nothing for blacks in his entire career—and who takes their votes for granted: “... if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Alas, blacks have some responsibility here. Black lives don’t matter because they don’t have to matter to people—like Biden—who take blacks and their votes for granted, and always have, and have won elections for years doing so.
When blacks start voting Republican, then black lives will start to matter.
